Typically, the parties are illegal
and thus a complex process
is involved to find out where they are located. Rave music
is [trance], the parties usually include
1 or more DJs. Also present in many cases are "chill out
rooms" which feature more ambient music. Lasers, blaring
music,
[cyberdelic] images, [SmartDrinks] and
drugs (most often MDMA {X, XTC, Ecstacy,
E}, LSD {acid}, ketamine, or nootropics) are
all large contributors to the rave eXperience. Raves are generally
illegal gatherings, held in empty warehouses, andlast
until the next morning. Another
large part of ravsculture is the flyers
- used to find out where your next party
will be.Raves are meant to be very happy events,
everyone is happy and open and free, lay your inhibitions aside for the night. Some have likened the rave
eXperience to "a weekly roving [techno-]woodstock for the
90's." Rave fashion includes over-sized
baggy t-shirts and pants, hooded sweat-shirts, ski caps, and
usually bright colors. |
